ave Carter, a singer and songwriter who with partner Tracy Grammer Dwas one of the fastest-rising acts in contemporary folk music, has died July 19th of a massive heart attack in Hadley, MA. He would have tunred 50 on August 13. Carter had the rare ability to pen songs that were at once deeply spiritual, often mystical, and yet universal in their emotional scope and melodic allure. Many predicted Carter and Grammer would become major stars. Their latest compact disc, “Drum Hat Buddha,’’ released on the Western Massachusetts label Signature Sounds, was seen as a major breakthrough record, prompting the Associated Press to say of Carter, who wrote the songs for the duo, “He writes songs that can stand with the best of contemporary singer-songwriters or sound like they were written 100 years ago.’’ The Los Angeles Times announced Mr. Carter as “a major lyrical talent,’’ and Great Britain’s Folk Roots magazine said his songs were “destined to become the stuff of legend.’’ The duo was just becoming known outside the vibrant subculture of modern folk music. Joan Baez had recently embraced Mr. Carter’s music in the same fervor with which she famously promoted the songs of Bob Dylan in the 1960s and Dar Wil- liams in the ‘90s. She planned to record several of Mr. Carter’s songs and to use them in a world tour, as she did nationally last spring. In a Globe profile of Mr. Carter and Grammer last fall, Baez praised Mr. Carter’s ability to write intimate songs that “are available to other people.’’ “It’s a kind of genius, you know,’’ she said, “and Dylan had the biggest case of it. But I hear it in Dave’s songs, too.’’ A Portland memorial service will be held
